Heritage Classic

The Globe and Mail has some interesting facts and figures on today's hockey game. It'll be fun watching those overpaid, pampered NHL primadonnas freeze their butts off while I'm inside warm and cozy. :) Actually, I'm looking forward to this, should be a pretty cool, unique event. Guy Lafleur's Canadiens vs. Wayne Gretzky's Oilers, it's one of those fantasy games that's actually going to take place.

If You Freeze It, They Will Come: Edmonton is cold during November, but Heritage Classic tickets were red-hot. The Oilers received more than 700,000 entries - some from as far away as China, Finland and Britain - in a lottery for the opportunity to purchase tickets. In fact, an estimated 100,000 more were received after the entry deadline. How hard are tickets to come by? Wayne Gretzky's mom had to call her son to get a pair.
